Best Answer

The European Coal and Steel Community was formed by the nations of Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands in 1952. The idea of an international European organization was created by French foreign minister Robert Schuman, who wanted to create an organization with France and Germany to prevent a future war between the two nations. His goal was to make war practically impossible. The Treaty of Paris (1951) was then created for France and Germany and established a supranational organization. However, the Benelux countries (Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg) and Italy also got in on the deal and signed the treaty as well. The European Coal and Steel Community created a common market for coal and steel and eventually added more powers.

The first supranational organization had been created and would eventually morph into the European Union, the most powerful economical entity on the planet.
